Hardly fair to compare one single ninja to a 60 gun frigate. In a one-on-one combat between a single pirate and a single ninja, the ninja would win sooo easily! Pirates are nothing without all their mateys and ships. It would be like:

"Aye nay! Harr! What em I supposed to do matey! Wherz the ship!"
"Haiaaaa!"
"Arrh!!"

I think actually, ninja can take a 60 gun frigate. Gets his sword
*swish* *swish* *swish*
And there goes your fregate.

Pirates vs Ninja. Case closed.

Hella funny.

And there are no female pirates, right? (and even if there were, I wouldn't mess with one-eyed, one-legged, hook-for-a-hand woman)

On the other hand, "Escape from monkey island"... *makes him think(

WENCHES!... MORE WENCHES...

Nah, the one thing that drags me toward ninjas is this film where a guy dresses like ninja and goes singing folk-music, selling records and becomes very popular. Ninjas can't talk but noone says they can't sing. And of course, noone knows their identity because if you see ninja's face and tell it to somebody, you die with the most horrible death!

Ninja death scenes are almost always better than pirate death scenes.

And yes, they do have beautiful singing voices. Although, if you tell a ninja they cant sing, they get angry.

And no body likes an angry ninja.

I have booty.

Can I be a pirate?
The problem is, you're supposed to plunder booty.

I think if you became a pirate, you'd just have your booty plundered. That's not the same at all, really.

Then I guess I need to become a ninja to protect my booty.

I must side with pirates:

1. I love hoarding, as well as plundering University dumpsters.

2. Pirates are more flexible, especially when it comes to technology: ie There are more space pirates in the future than space ninjas.

3. Ninjas never use artillery. Anyone who scoffs at cannons is no friend of mine. See above.

4. Pirate ethics sort of remind me of crow/raven flock structure. A group of individuals for their own gain, at least loosely loyal to the alpha raven, that recognize the benefits of social plundering, especially when it comes to chasing away hawks.

5. It is fun to say "dubloons".

6. It's much harder to look good hopping about in pajamas, than it is to look cool as a scruffy, dirty b@d@ss. That means less shaving for me. w00t

You are SO totally wrong. I mean... Just how cool is this??

This on the other hand....

I admit that during my image search I also found pictures indicating that pirates aren't all that bad...

Also, you obviously have never worn a ninja outfit. Seriously, it feels so awesome to move in those things, I'd wear one all the time if it only had pockets.

Masamune Shiro. He's the creator of Ghost in the Shell and AppleSeed, as well as various other works, like Dominion Tank Police and stuff like that.

Maybe someone's already mentioned this, but you can see some good ninja vs. pirate action in the archives at this strip.

Yes, pirates have some good points, but the pirate babes are all destined to be seduced and converted by the extra suave ninja.

Or, for goblin, the extra suave ninja babes.

Hey pirates are cool, I don't ever hear about a ninja getting scurvy! Until that happens Pirates > Ninjas.
